Well not really a rant, more of a nice reminder to all people.
This was prompted by a discussion i had, well i say discussion, about portal 2.
Now, you might see where this is going already. Yes, i said something bad about the holy grail of gamng
What i did say was this; *snip away some starting rabble, enter paraphrasing*...I don't need to play it to know it's not for me. I've seen and heard enough, i can see that it's not. I just don't think i'd have fun with it, past the first two bouncy-havoc things i might have a laugh with. I can just watch a playthrough for the comedy anyway. So, taking into consideration i don't like puzzles that much, meh."
I was met with some, how to put it nicely, hostility. It's the greatest game ever made, you don't get it(love that one) and so on.
I was going to post the same thing on the forum, but decided to post about what i said next instead;
As the masses gathered and the pitchforks did get flung, i stated a unheard of...simply ridicilious...out of this world statement;
"It doesn't mean it sucks, i just don't like it."
More rabble ofcourse ensued, but some took heed of the point.
So please, for the sanity of many discussions, when you see someone saying "I don't like x", remember that the statement does not mean the game/movie/thingyjugs sucks.
